AFTER THE CUTTERS.
A number of property owners appeared
before the Board and requested that the
gutter and curbing on Twelfth and street
be overhauled and constructed in a proper
manner. Messrs. Burnett Olsen and
Meister very forcibly urged that something
be done in regard to the matter, and stated
that the curbing on Twelfth street was 10
inches higher than that on J street. The
Board continued the matter one week, dur
ing which time the work will be lnvesti-
gated and some agreement made.
]. J. Buckley, City Assessor, sent in
communication requesting that he be al
lowed his fnll salary, 81 500, for the year.
1t appears that when he was elected the
election took place on or about the second
Tuesday in March, and he received but $40
as his salary for that month. He now
wishes the balance so as to make up his
regular salary of $3.50 per month. The
matter was taken under advisement.
A PosTPoNEMENT ASKED.
A petition was received from A. Schaeden,
p. Stanton, Sol. Nathan, J. Hyman, C. H.
Krebs, G. w Booth and others, requesting
that the grading of Sixth street from the
alley between l. and NJ to n streets be post
poned until next spring. The reasons
given were that the rainy season was now
at hand and the work could not be done in
a substantial manner and also that it
would be very foolish to leave the half
block from L back to the alley ungraded.
The Board thought that very good reasons
had been given, and they accordingly
complied with the petitioners request.
WHAT THE CITY ATTORNEY SAYS.
City Attorney Hart filed written opin-
ion on the question Of the validity of the
late municipal election, and said that,
while the law may not have been strictly
adhel ed to, so far as the hours at which
the polls should open and close are con-
cerned, yet it must be conceded that the
objection was purely technical one, and
one upon which alone no Court, in his
Judgment, would declare invalid such cleo
ton The voters had their choice for the
peiSsls whom they desired to occupy the
offices, to fill which the election was called,
and, upon a mere technicality, it would
not be Just to thus thwart the will of the
people. The City Attorney, therefore, ad
vised the Board to canvass the ballot and
declare elected those whom the returns
showed had the highest votes. The market
proposition, he said could be submitted to
a vote of the people at any time in the fu-
ture, at the discretion of the Board.
Messrs. Richardson and Nevis appeared
and requested that Twenty. second street,
from q to Y, be graded, and also S street,
from Twenty-first to Twenty-second. The
matter was referred to the Street Commits
sioner.
After allowing a number of bills and
canvassing the returns of the late election,
the Board adjourned.
